Absolutely loving diatonic progressions







The first was inspired / somewhat copied from a beer commercial. The second reminds me of a children's show for some reason. The third was made because Dm7 and G7 go so well together.

As you can probably hear, I'm no good with endings.

Key: C

Pensivity



This tune was inspired from this next tune:



The latter evolved into the former by playing it over and over. Except for the endings, they use an identical progression. Dedicated to a friend who is finding it tough to get inspired.

Something Like Touch



I made this one up with my guitar so close to my ear, it was as though my eardrum was being touched by the sound.

Key: Dm
Tuning: DADGBE

Alone Not Alone



Started as a jam between me and a friend. I couldn't get the tune out of my head, so I refined it a bit, re-recorded both parts myself, and did a bit of a mixing job.

...is the delay a bit much?

Key: C
